Not So Happy

The city of San Franciso, well-know for its lunacy, is banning Happy Meals. Specifically, they are banning including a toy with a meal if it doesn't meet certain health requirements, i.e. can't be a burger and fries. A quote from Supervisor Eric Mar, who sponsored the measure:
We're part of a movement that is moving forward an agenda of food justice. From San Francisco to New York City, the epidemic of childhood obesity in this country is making our kids sick, particularly kids from low income neighborhoods, at an alarming rate. It's a survival issue and a day-to-day issue.

Eric Mar can choose food for your kids better than you can, after all, he's in government.
